, TABULATING MnoHnN'IsM.

To all'whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, Gnonon W.A RAMSEY a resident of Peoria, Ain the county of Peoria, State" of Illinois, (whose pest-@Hice address is `1;?rovide'nt Bank Building, Vashingto'n, Distri@ of Columbia,) li1 ,ve invent-ed certain new and useful Improvements. in Tabulatof which the following is a.

' j ,This invention Vrelaiesi-broadly to the 'arts a carriage which moves past the printing. -pointfor a, carriage wherein the printing point. is moved over the printing surface.

The invent-ion relates vmore specifically to tabulati-ing mechanisms. adapted particularly for the above mentioned type of machines.

Theprincipal object of .this invention is to provide a tabulating mechanism wherein certain stop members areA automatically set during a printiiig'operationA Morel specically the'object of this invention is,toset certain tabulating stops during printing operation andafter a certain predetermined operation has ,been performed,

Another object of this .invention is to construct a tabulat-ing mechanm wherein certainl tabulator stops are'automatically set when printing keys are operated in a predetermined sequence A further object of rthis invent-ion is to construct a tabulating mechanism for typewriting machines wherein certain carriage stops are set when a pre-'determined punctuation key has been struck after a pnedeten mined Character key, i

A still. further object of this invention is to Construct a ta'nulating mechanism where in. carriage determining stops v are auto-v matoallyset when period 'key-is. struck ,immediately after a numeral key,

Other and further. objects cfvthis inventionwill innert be Obvious and will part be more specifically :pointed out in the specication hereinafter, by reference tothe agicompanying drawings, and the scope of the invention will be indicated by the claims,

Throughout "thesevcral figures olf the dra-wings, like numerals will be used to in: dica-te like parts.

It is believed that theprincipal novelty of the in ventlon illustrated in the drawings., and which will'be -more specifically described hereinafter, resides in the method@ of setting certain tabulator'stops when certain pre-determined operations have been performed. The particular mechanical adaptation of this invention is illustrated and will be described as applied to a type of typewriting machines commonly known as the Monarch typewriter, however, thatticular type of machine has been selectedfor the purpose of yillustrating- 'the' invention, and'not as a limitation for its adaptation, for the reason that it is equally well adapted to all dilcrent types of machines using a movable carriage.

As the denominational stops, which are 4vadapted to copcrate with the carriage stops, do not form a specific part of this invention, the denominational stop meehanismhas not been illustrated in its entirety, but for the purpose 0f illustration I have chosen to adopt the .type of, denominational stop which is specifically shown and described in the patent to Felbel, .Serial No. 90l,6S9, patented November 24,' 1908, However,` any 4other well known type of denominational stop mechanism might with equal efficiency bc used in connection with the mechanism for automatically setting the carriage stops, Furthermore, the particular mechanism herein 4illustrated shows the automatic stop isetting mechanism as being operative upon par- 'a series of stops carried on the movable cerf,

riego., "It is @finally Welllwwli .und Convfld' ered as equivalents in the art; to arrange'c'el umn selecterstops on bar mounted on the xed frame`of the mag-hin@ and tp arl-an' the denominational sto s siicli'that they are fore, I desire that it shall belnndeifs'tood thatvthe mechanism for automatially setting" -carried by' the m'ovab e carijlage,v There An escapement lever IKey ,w .means of .'links85.,

stops ,can be" arranged to., work,` with `equal facility in connection with column stopscarried upon a bar mounted .on the iframe work, of the machine and arranged to coperate with any well 'known type of denominational Istops carried by a movable carriage.

Referring to the drawings and more par-` ticularly to Fig. 1 of' the drawings, a machine frame 1 is adapted to support a top plate 2, upon which-are mounted brackets 5, only one of which is shown in Fig. g1, which are adapted'to carry between their upper ends a top rail 6 and at their base a bottom rail 7 both of which rails are grooved in order to form run-ways or'ballsS, which form antidfriction bearings adapted to carry a carriage frame 9. The carriage frame 9 includes side plates 10 and 11, which are adapted to support upon their forward ends a cylindrical platen 12. A spring drum 14, is mounted in the machine frame and is attached to a post 15, mounted on the carriage frame, by means of a tape 16, in order that the carriagemay be vmoved for letter spacing.- An escapementwheel 17, is mounted in a bracket 18, and is'opertively'connected means of a shaft running through the bracket, to a small cog wheel 19, with which a rack 2O is adapted to coperate in order to control the movement of the carriage. The rack 20is mounted upon the well known releasing mechanism carried by the carriage and which terminates in a releasing lever 21.

22, which carries escapement dogs that are adapted to coper ate with the escapement wheel 17, is supf ported upon a bracket 24, which depends from the topy plate 2. One portion of the escapement lever 22 isconnected with a universal bar mechanism 25, by means of a link 26. VThe universal bar mechanism 25, is mounted in tbe machine frame in a manner well known in the art, beneath printing keys I 27, which are pivoted upon a rod 28 that is mounted in the machine `frame, and terminate at their'forward ends in key caps 29. lever springs 80, are arranged in such manner as tovcause the key levers to be re,- turned to normal .position after they. have been depressed. Type bars 31, aremounted `in a type bar segment 32. Sub-leversv34 are pivotally mounted upon-the key levers 27, and are connected tothe type bars 32 by V'The sub4leversf34 co' operate .wit-h: a. rod or abut-ment 36, in .such `manneras `:to be effective to operate thetype bar when-theprmting key lever` ,-isdepressed.

' `Denominational stop keys 37, are mounted upon a'bracket or web member 38, and ter- Vininateat theiriforward.ends in key caps 39, @which vare vsubstantially above and to the rear of the*ordinary.',typewriter` key board. y

p attendant mechanisms,

stop keys together withfconnecting links and .are tobe used suil;` cient 'to operate 'the usual number of denominational stops. Denominational tabulating v stopvcarriers 40, are mounted on the machine frame 1, in a bracket 41,

and are connected' with, the denominational stop. ki'eys f 37., by means of connecting links 42. 'Ili`"deno1n1 national stop carriers 40, terminate at their 'upper ends in denominational stops 44, the

construction and arrangementiof parts be-H ing -such that when a certain .denomlnational stop A'key is depressed, a corresponding'I-del nominational stop",will be moved't forward.. suiiiciently to be in the path of column stops.: or carriage stops which may be set, as will? vbe more fully. described hereinafter. The.

side plates 1() and 11 of the carriage frame, are continued to the rear at their upperends and carry a stop rack 45, which is'composed of atop plate 46 and a lower plate 47. The plates 46 and 47 are formed with recesses in which carriage or column stops 48 `are adaptedto be slidingly mounted. Each of the carriage stops 48' consists of a stop face 49 which is beveled at its rear, a top spring' bar .50 and a lower slide bar 51, which is provided with a lug 52, for a purpose'which" will be hereinafter described. The top spring bar 5() is provided with `two locking notches 54 and 55. `AS locking bar 56, de-l pends through a longitudinal opening inthe top plate 46, and is supported by means of bell crank levers 57 and 58, -vvhich are Vpiv.-l otally mounted upon the ends othe,top'I ico plate 46. Leaf springl members .59, are.`

mounted in the top plate andare adapted to seat the locking bar 56 in the notches 54 and `55 of the carriagey stops. A- retractorf bar 60 passes through openings formed yin, the side plates 10 and 11, and is connected l'at its ends with the;bell crank levers 57 and 58 respectively, vby meansl of slotted openings formed in the bell cranks.' Link members 61, extend from each end of the retractor bar to levers 62, which are mounted Vin lthe side plates 10 and 11, upon a shaft 64, 'which so connects the lever 62 that the linksl' will be uniformly vdrawn forward when either 'of the .levers are operated. p

Referring more particularly to Figs. 2. 3. 7, 8 and 9, a bracket member 65, is 'xedly mounted uponv the machine .frame 1 ap proXimately beneath the printing key 27 :which is adapted to actuate the type bar 3 1 carrying thereupon theperod punctuaV tion` mark. A setting' bar 66, is xedly mounted upon bell Acrank 4member "67,`

which is pivotally mounted -on a shaft 68` supported in the machine frame and by means of the bracket 65. The setting liar" 66 Vis provided on its upper surface with raised abutments 69, which are adapted. to be ,positioned directly .beneath -each partiell- 4la..l v printing key'27 that is adapted to actu-.

. numeral.

type bar carrying thereupon `a In typewriting machines in which the character capital O is adapted 'to' be used for printing the cipher, the abutate any ment 69 is also positioned-beneath the par# carried upon an arm 77 -Which is.-1 also I mounted upon-the shaft -68,'and which is connected to a locking dog 78 by means of A a link member 79. The locking dogj78' is pivotally mounted in a. bracketv 80 that de# pends from the machine frame v1, and a leaf spring 81 also mounted upon the machine frame 1,- is-adapted to normal1y-force anv engaging head 82 of the lo cking dog into contact with the upper end 'of the bell crank 67. The releasing bar 76, is provided'with notches 84,*Which are locatedin the same relation to the key leversas are theraised abutments 69.' In otherwords, the releasing bar 76 is p provided with a notch 'that corresponds, With reference to each "key lever, to the 'abutments 69't-l1at are formed on the setting bar 66. The releasing bar 76 is normally a 'suflicient distance beneath Athe key levers to be entirely out of their zone of movement.- The 'abutments 69 on the setting Vbar 66, are suiiiciently highscthat the bar will Vnot be'actuated by anykey other than the particular keysv directly above the' abutments, 'and the notches'in the releasing bar 67, are suiic'iently deep that the releasing bar will not be actuated by the depression of any numeral key.;

` Referring more particularly to Figs. '2, 3 and 7, a shatt- 85 is mounted in brackets 86 and 87, upon the top rail 6. A crank mem` ber 88 is fixedly mounted upon the shaft 85 Vat a. position directly above the printing key adapted to print a period.. A supplemental lever 89 is'pivotally mounted upon a printing key adapted to aotuate the type bar carrying thereon a period. The'supplemental `lever 89 is provided with a for- Wardly extendinghook 90, and on its extreme rear endWith a locking hook 91. A

link 92, is connected tothe crank member' '88 and vis vprovided on its lower end with a head 94C in which there is an opening which is'adapted to 'engage' the forwardly extending, hook J0 attached to the supplemental lever-89. The link' 92 is adapted to pass through a dis-connecting rod 95, which ter- 5 minatesat its forward end in a key cap 96,

the bracket 65. The upper end'of the bell crank member 67 is formed' .into a. latch 72, -Whichis provided" with ahookmember 74. The upper end of the bell crank member is also provided with i a lc'clnng notch 75. A releasing bar 76, is

and at its. rear endv is slidingly mounted'n a bracket 97 that is attached to the rmachine frame 1.

ing 'notches' 98' and'99,and is .held in Contact with the Iunder face of the bracket-97 by' means of-a smally leafspring .99' that-is'.

mounted on the Vmachine framel. It' will' `matic column stop setting 'mechanism 4shall be operative. f

. -Referring'particularly to' Figs 3 and 7,-

an actuating dog 100, is slidingly mounted upon 'a squared portion of the shaft 85 at a position which is directly tothe rear at which the type heads are adapted to strike the platen. 'A light coiled spring 101, normally maintains the actuating dog in contact -with the bracket 86, and by its torsional eiort also normally maintains the actuating dog retracted, 4against a stop plate 102. i

In the majority of tabulating Work the starting, or base point, of the tabulating is usually determined by the decimal point or period. Therefore, it will be noted that -it u The .upper rear. portion of the dis- 4 connecting rod 95, is provided with ret-ain-v be notedthat a longitudinal movementof the' disconnecting rod 95, will either connect so a the dis-connecting key be vpushed in thus L connecting the supplemental lever with -the stop setting mechanism, a columnstop o r carriage stop Will be automatically positi'oned'v or seteach time a period or decimal point is struck immediately after the printing otaigure or numeral. The .manner in which this operation is' performed Will be more specifically described bydesignatingA the operation of the hereinbefore specified mechanism.

Referring particularly to igs.- 2,3, 8 and' 9, and presuming that the dis-connecting key has been pushed in in order that the supplemental lever 89 is connected' With the vcrankmember 88, it'will benoted that if a numeral printing-key 27 be depressed it WillA contact with one of the abutments 69 on 'the setti'ng bar 66, thus rocking the bell crank 67 and permitting the engaging head 82 of the locking dog 78 to drop into' the locking notch 75, thus positioning the latch 72 overthe supplemental lever 89, at the same time raising the releasing bar 76 into operative position beneath lthe several letter keys.

The parts Will'be held in this locked posi' tion so long as numeral keys are -`operated, but if a` letter key be depressed 1t Will contact With the vface 'of the releasing bar 76,

which will be depressed, and will lift the engaging head 82 from the locking notch- 75, thus permitting the retractoi` spring 70 to withdraw the latch 72 from lts position over the end ofthe supplemental lever. The

supplemental lever therefore being free atits rear end and beingpivoted at its forward? end, will rock upon its v,pivot without'actuating the automatic stop setting mechanism.

As long as numeral keysy are depressed how- 5 ever, the partswill be held in locked relationship, -for the reason that the numeral keys willipass downward into the notches Si of the releasing har without actuating the har, and `therefore the several parts will be e held in locked position. lf' while in lockedv position the period. key is depressed, the supplemental lever 89 will be carried downward with this key, for the reason that the rear end thereof cannot rise because of the latch 15 72.` However, the period key will contact with the'releasing bar, thus lifting the engaging headi82 of the locking dog 78 from the locking notch 7 5, and .will permit the latch 72 to be retracted suiiiciently to allow f the engaging head 82 to .ride over the top of the latch 72, and until the hook member 74 engages the locking hook-1.91 on the supplemental lever, which will prevent a further retraction of the latch 72 aunt-il linger presf sure is released upon the-,period key. Im-

mediately as linger pressure is removed from the period key, the .hook member 74' and the locking hook 91 will he disengaged and the parts will return to normal position.

Referring particularly to Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 7 it will be noted that when the shaft 85- isrocked, theactuating dog 100 engages with a. column or carriagestop and slides it outward in the stop rack 45, lifting the lockinghar 86 and permitting it to drop into the lockingnctch 55, as is indicated in Fig. 5. Thus itwill he seen that a column or carriage stop is automatically positioned each time a periodfprinting key is actuated immediately after the actuation y of a numeral key.' v

lt might he possible in the rapid operation of the machine that the actuating dog 100 when setting a tabulatonstop, would not hei-retracted quick enough from the stop rack to prevent contact with the side of the succeeding stop.and therefore the actuating dog is arranged to slide upon the shaft '85A against the ypressure of the light coiled 50 spring 101, in order to preventlany retarding of the carriage under letterspace movement. Immediately vof course as the actuating dog 100 leaves the rack it will he re-V. turned to normal position against the bracket- SG by ymeans of the light coiled spring i101. 4

As has been 'hereinhefore:stated7 this-device. is adapted to set carriage or l,columny4 stops automatically during the print'mg753 ov eration.
